Colours - opinions please!

Hi all,

Well, I've had a couple of weeks doing other things and been thinking about my 126 project. I'm not going to be painting the car for a while but I'm starting to get some make lists of specs, parts etc and starting the planning.

The car will be bike powered, shell will be wide arched but struggling picking a colour.

Got a few ideas so far:

Subaru Ice Blue:

Candy red:

Teal Blue:

Or open to other suggestions.

I'm looking to paint or powder coat the roll cage in the same or contrasting colour too to give the interior a bit of a lift.

Thoughts please!

I'll be honest I dont think that 126's really carry metallic colours well a flat colour will keep that retro look but it reallys depends on what you have planned for the body....

Take your point Stuey, but the gold one I saw on this site looked great.

Plus, de-bumpered and wide arches will hopefully breakup the boxy looks

Ho hum, may be have to go with the faithful white with group 2 decals !!
